Hitachi CML174 appreciation society!

[Doosht]

Sorry folks this may be a useless post but im getting really lovey-dovey with my faithful 2nd hand Hitachi CML174 i bought off an OCUK member (Khrest) here about 2 years ago.

Ive had many TFT's pass through my hands since then but i still think that this monitor is the best thing since sliced bread and that includes games, dvd's and general internet/office use.

What a wonderful job they did but why no more Hitachi TFTs? There the masters in my opinion.

Mememememe I have one!!

I love it to bits, well as much as you can love a monitor in a healthy way

Bought it from OcUK for £388 in 2003? Does exactly what it says on the tin and is damn good at it too!

Thumbs up to the CML174 :beer:

I have a carbon one of these - havent used it for a while ( as I now have 1* Dell 2005 and 2*1905's) but its a decent bit of kit, thats for certain, just used to the extra screen size now - but might use it on my bedroom media system when i move.

I've got 2x carbon ones! would love another one! They're so hard to come by now! If anyone has a carbon one they don't want anymore.... get in touch!

I had one, then i went to a 2005, to what i have now. Manifest on these forums had my old one and hes selling it, but it was a superb screen back in the day.

Is the carbon one the black one?

Ye ye!

I bought t_aitch's one off him, it was such an awsome tft and the first one i had ever used so it was even better. Im actually selling mine now because ive now got t_aitch's dell 20inch widescreen now that hes got his 30inch dell widescreen

Gonna post the hitachi in the members market tomo.......

My first ever TFT was a Carbon one from OC UK.
I upgrded to a DEll 20" and then 24" so I sold it to my company and now it sits on my desk at work!
I still use it every week day and run the odd game when no ones around!

I bought my Charcoal Hitachi three years ago and I'm still using it! I'm looking to upgrade to a decent 19" very shortly buts its got to be good to beat this monitor considering the age and specifications. Well happy with it.
